for anyone not reading up over there, Lik Sang keeps dropping big time hints that the price for the PSP presales will be way up there. I've read I think three different articles on their website now, where they go on and on about how hard it is to get them, what they've had to go thru, why the prices are so high from various other places, and why you should expect to pay a lot if you want yours now. And yet still they have not announced their official price.
Very interesting <_<
The Lik Sang email
Dear ___________,
Please ignore this email if you decide to wait for the PSP price to drop down, or reply immediately if you want us to process your order still before Christmas.
The first deliveries of Sony PSP Value Packs are now getting in and will soon be ready to ship. Because of the shortage and other circumstances described in our recent PSP updates and emails, the price is unfortunately hiked and will stay like this until early next year. At this point of time you have three options:
Option #1: Get your PSP shipped as soon as possible
---------------------------------------------------
- Only "Value Packs" for $529 (EUR 398/GBP 275) can be shipped currently
- Only Ridge Racers or Vampire Chronicle can be shipped ($59.90)
- Please confirm which game you want us to ship, or if you want both of them
- Other games will soon be ready seperately (Free Shipping Worldwide)
- Due to the shortage, the PSP price will NOT drop before next year
- Only insured UPS shipping is available ($30-$40 depending on location)
- Credit Card or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) to HK only (payment in US$)
- Other items in your order will be separated & process within 5 to 14 days
Please reply to this email and tell us that you want us to ship your system. We will set everything up for you and keep you informed about the status.
Please keep your confirmation email as short as possible and confirm without asking questions that are already answered in this email or in the PSP Update on our web site. This helps Lik Sang a great deal in providing fast servicing of answers and rush processing or the orders.
Important: There are tight deadlines and only the fastest ones can make it to the first shipments.
Sony PSP Value Pack Content:
- PSP Hardware (PSP-1000K Value Pack)
- PSP Memory Stick Duo 32MB
- PSP Headphones With Remote Control
- PSP Soft Case & Hand Strap
- PSP AC Adapter (100V-240V, 50/60Hz, works worldwide)
- PSP Battery Pack
- Free Travel Plug (to fit in your country)
Option #2: Keep your position & wait for the price to normalize
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Due to the shortage, the price will NOT drop before next year
- There is no guarantee when Sony will make more units available
- If you decide to wait, you will not loose your position
- Other payment and shipping options will be available next year
If you choose to wait for cheaper stock to arrive, there is no need to reply to the email, as ignoring the first launch offer still lets you keep your spot in the reservation list. If you decide to ask questions, we will reply to them once the initial mass shipment has left our warehouse and all first-release orders have been dealt with.
Please understand that this is the only way to get thousands of PSP systems shipped in time.
Option #3: Cancel your order
----------------------------
- Even you cannot accept Option #1, it is not recommended to cancel
- The market will clear early next year, no new orders until then
- You can secure your pre-order position and continue monitoring
- Cancellations can be done automatically in your My Account
- We will never ever ship your order without your permission
Payment Options:
----------------
Due to the urgency in processing Sony PSP orders, and due to the limited resources available in the middle of the Christmas rush, Lik Sang will only be able to accept the following payment options for your order:
